It seems to be their design to make the insti-

ine In the branches Of literature and science
which arc essential to liberal culture.
From cursosy reading Of the announcement
for the ensuing session. just issued. II is evident
that President Edgar understands the problem
which b presented to him for solution thai ne
appreciates the importance Of the higher culture
and is familiar with the mental implements,
methods and management By which 1t Is to be
accomplished.
1t is . source of congratuIation, too, that the
member Of the Faculty chosen are specialists
in the departments they teach and that they
will bring to their work, . culture and expert
ence derived from connection as students and
teach.rs with several Of the best colleges and
universities Of our country.
Its 10 be hoped that the people of Tallahas-
see, West Florida, and, indeed, of the whole
State, will show their appreciation of the advan

every other possible way.
The growth OF higher education in Florida has
been slow indeed. 1t has been but recently that
the subject has received 1.-THE of the attention
its importance demands. This may have been
largely due to the poverty entailed upon Us by
the civil war, and the slow development Of our
country for years after its termination and TO 9TH
er causes; but now that Florida is maksg rapid

in making her soil . grand sanitsrium and

tons for health, happiness and long life, result
ing in wonderfully rapid yearly increase in

hoped that she will soon show corresponding

shall provide for her youth, and that her system
Of public instruction, from the primary school to
the university, may be made 90 complete and
efficient that her sons and daughters may secure
free of cost, within her borders, every kind Of
training they may need to at them for the null
hilarious professions and employments Of life.
We trust that the Seminary West of the Su-

institutions, and We bid its Board of Education
and Faculty Godspeed in their effort 10 place the
institution on advanced ground. Tuition, we
are glad to see is to be free to Florida youth.

minutes more was on the breakfast

completing the journey from milk to
